A Blessing & a Curse

By: ReShonda Tate Billingsley, Victoria Christopher Murray

Narrated by: Patricia Floyd

First ladies of the Baptist church and sworn frenemies Rachel Jackson Adams and Jasmine Cox Larson Bush are stunned to learn they may have more in common than they thought - like who's their daddy - in the scandalous new collaboration between national best-selling and award-winning authors ReShonda Tate Billingsley and Victoria Christopher Murray.

A heated American Baptist Coalition election. A murky murder cover-up. An outrageous reality TV show. What in heaven's name kind of drama will holy rivals Rachel Jackson Adams and Jasmine Cox Larson Bush - prominent first ladies of the Baptist church - get themselves into next?

Since he first met Jasmine, Rachel's father, Simon Jackson, has had a funny feeling about her. She eerily resembles his first teenage love. After doing some digging, Simon makes a shocking revelation - Jasmine may be his daughter. Rachel thinks the idea is absurd, but to pacify her ailing father, she sets out to debunk his theory. When Jasmine discovers what's going on, she heads to the Jackson family reunion in Smackover, Arkansas, in search of the truth. With her sidekick Mae Frances by her side, this big-city girl isn't ready for the country or for the over-the-top family that she may have to claim as her own.

selfish love

I really enjoy the whole book thought Jasmine was so evil I'm never knew of anybody that never forgave or listened to both sides of the story.

Loved it!!

Can't wait to get to know May Francis story, and to read what the other two will do too.

Overall good story...

This was a good read. Jasmine was getting on my last nerve...actually acting her daughter's age, but I had to finish it to.see how it all ended. Rachel was a little more calmer in this book...

Great book read!!

Loved how this book ended! These ladies have been through a lot together and now it shows why they are so much a like. Can't wait to see what May Francis has in store!!!

another stellar book

Loved it! Jasmin is still a hot mess. Glad she is finally maturing. Should be a movie.
